Being neurodivergent can be difficult in this society, whether you are on the spectrum, have ADHD, identify as HSP, or other traits. And feeling unseen, unaccepted, or stagnant can often be overwhelming. If you're grappling with emotional challenges, or find yourself stuck in life, know that you're not alone. Whether you’re wanting to better understand yourself, looking to improve your experiences with others, or wanting help with a new diagnosis, we can navigate these waters together. You've demonstrated resilience and introspection by seeking help, now let's create the path towards healing and transformation—together.
I offer psychodynamic therapy to adults, teens, and children. For the younger ones, I am passionate about play and sand tray therapy. I also do parent-child sessions to help strengthen connection and communication. I specialize in ASD, ADHD, HSP, attachment issues, and racial/cultural identity.
You might feel stuck, frustrated, alone, or confused. You might also find it hard to talk about certain topics or feel like you don’t have someone to talk to. I am here to create a safe space where you can express yourself freely. I can accompany you through your struggles so that you can feel free and empowered to create positive change and healing.
